Got it about three years ago (?). > If you do, do you like it? yes > How often do you use it? It comes and goes - sometimes I use it weekly, sometimes monthly. Durring the summers I like to buy fruit in bulk and store it so I tend to use ti more at those times. > What do you hate about it? I find that I use it more to store things long term. (freezer, dry goods, etc.) I find that once you open a sealed bag, it doesn't really re-seal very well. So I mainly use it for stuff that I'm not going to want to open and reseal tomorrow. The other thing it's really great for is marinating. > What kind is it? Honestly I don't remember - sorry Wish I could have been hore help.

Guest guest Posted June 30, 2006 Report Share Posted June 30, 2006 We have a food saver that works GREAT with the bags we can seal ourselves! Just an idea- a little spendy, BUT, worth it if you buy in bulk! Tara I am looking for tips on storage for bulk food items, like flour, dried beans, pasta, rice, and basically anything else you'd have for scratch cooking.

Guest guest Posted June 30, 2006 Report Share Posted June 30, 2006 I find all the gallon jars with lids I can and use them. (Large sized pickle jars, if you know a caterer, they can be a good source) I prefer using glass. To keep bugs out of the grains, add a few bay leaves every few inches of grain as you pour. This is a great natural way to keep bugs away and it does not flavor the grain that I have notice. I am thinking of doing this with my beans too, no bug problem yet but just to be on the safe side. Plus I can just add the leafs to the beans when cooking! LOL. Works for pasta too. I do use zip lock bags for rice as I freeze my brown rice. Nothing bothers white rice. Even the mice won't touch it! Chocolate and peanut butter chip, well..... that's a different story! We have shelves in our basement and the jars line up nicely on them. I often cover the shelves to keep light out if it is a long term storage item. Kimi *************************************************** The very best sewing-machine a man can have is a wife. It is one that requires but a kind word to set it in motion, rarely gets out of repair, makes but little noise, will go uninterruptedly for hours, without the slightest trimming, or the smallest personal supervision being necessary. It will make shirts, darn stockings, sew on buttons, mark pocket handkerchiefs, cut out pinafores, and manufacture children's frocks out of any old thing you may give it; and this it will do behind your back just as well as before your face... Of course sewing machines vary a great deal. Some are much quicker than others. It depends, in vast measure, upon the particular pattern you select... In short, no gentleman's establishment is complete without one. " Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest guest Posted January 14, 2011 Report Share Posted January 14, 2011 Arlene, We keep cans of sardines in the pantry for emergency use. I also keep a can of sardines in each car. My husband found powdered eggs at a place that sells dried meals for camping, so we keep some of those in the pantry, too. Thankfully we've never had to try them, so I don't know how they taste, but I figure it would be better than starving and better than the high carb other dried meals they had.

Guest guest Posted January 15, 2011 Report Share Posted January 15, 2011 I can appreciate this question because I live in Florida, and the hurricanes are always a concern. You might want to do a search using *hurricane supplies* or something similar. I think you might find a lot of lists on the internet that you could review. You could also dehydrate meats yourself to have available. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted January 15, 2011 Report Share Posted January 15, 2011 Hi Arlene, If you keep cooked hamburger patties, sausages, pre-cooked bacon and the like in the freezer ready to go, then pack them in an ice chest for the road, they will be good for 2 or 3 days. Raw egg yolks are good to eat. If the weather is 37-65 F the eggs will keep fine in their carton for a week. Longer if they are fresh bought from a place that doesn't rinse them. A can of tuna. Homemade jerkey, lasts a while. Raw beef is good for a day or so. A camp stove would be handy. My Great Aunt told me they kept cooked sausages, preserved in fat, in a crock, crossing the prairie. The trick was, cook them then pour the hot fat over them, then stick the long handle of a wooden spoon down the sides and between to be sure the air 'burps' out. Also, if the sausages should become uncovered they would pour more hot fat on top to cover. Maybe hamburgers could be done the same way.
